APDallas Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I am collecting obscure Marvel and DC characters introduced in the Bronze Age. I consider this one of those eras where let's throw whatever we can against the wall and see what sticks. Have any suggestions? Nothing is out of bounds here.

Spider-Variant Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I always thought Will-O'-The-Wisp from Amazing Spider-Man 167 was under-rated. Tragic character, likeable, cool powers. He's been around and appeared in other stuff, but probably a C list type character. Warlord and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the pages from the unpublished Steel #6 that were incorporated into All-Star Squadron #8 & 9, re-inked by Jerry Ordway. Perhaps the best looking Don Heck artwork this side of X-Men #64.

I think Jim Owsley was said to have commented that the above comic was written, penciled, inked and lettered by Alan Kupperberg and untouched by human hands.

I have all 5 Steel's figured I'd post one that gets less love Those All-Star pages re-inked by a young Ordway are fantastic. There is a CAF gallery that contains most of Steel 6 before the re- ink , they sure look different. Different as in less polished and less substantial.

APDallas Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Lots of great suggestions! Here is a character I actually bought off the stands in the 1970's. I thought this character looked great and the Joe Kubert art was the main selling point for me. Didn't he actually appear in the Arrowverse?

That’s Louise ‘Weezie’ Simonson. Pretty certain she’s appeared in comics after this cover was published Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
